April festivals:
1) April 25-May 6th: "The Lambton County Music Festival, a sign of spring in Sarnia-Lambton [Canada] for nearly nine decades, is set to run April 25 to May 6.
This year marks the 87th edition of the annual music festival where musicians, singers and choirs will be scored by adjudicators during performances held over two weeks at five locations around Sarnia.
It's billed as the longest running Canadian music festival operating independently from other charity funding or service club sponsorship.
Festival programs, $3, are available at Van Goozen Music in Sarnia. There's no charge for admission to the weekday adjudication sessions, but donations are accepted....There are close to 500 entries this year, Nichols said.
“Which is terrific,” he added.
“I'm really pleased with that number.”
They will compete for cash prize and trophies, and several will be selected to perform at the annual Festival Highlights Concert, set for May 17, 7 p.m., at the SCITS auditorium."
